Analyze the characters’ points of view for validity and fairness, then analyze their actions. Examine how countries/regions in conflict often lose sight of what they are fighting for. Discuss options for peaceful resolutions to territorial/ownership disputes. How can these strategies be used in the students’ lives? Are there ways we can practice fair fighting now to avoid serious conflict later?
